QED: smooth jazz guitar

[@snagz7131]

One of my favs from ya bro! but ilike all ya stuff.. keep jamming!

[@Loissa42]

i agree im 17 and ive been listening to smooth jazz my whole life..no words can describe how calming the genre is..i love it :D

[@wadiczka]

I have finally found this guy. Once I found him, but know I will definitely add you to my favorites.

[@Ghosted760]

Very, very nice. Like that you've combined melody with solo, and not just playing scale solos. Nice job.. radio worthy smoothness.

[@bluemoonomen]

I clicked here by mistake and I almost didn't give you a chance but I'm glad I did. I'm feeling this. Very smooth.

[@entredosaguas16]

im a flamenco player but when i hear smooth jazz i fall in love with is calming and relaxing feel

[@MegaDreamer1960]

Man I can tell how much you enjoy playing like this!!! Awesome music, beautiful smooth jazz!!! Maybe you could give us a little smile... but I still think you are great!!!

[@rickhinesmusic]

I believe you are my favorite and most influential of all the jazz guitarists that I have heard ! Your music sounds like it comes from within and not just a lot of scales and arpegios. I have always been in the rock/blues/country scene, but now I am delving into the Jazz scene. I have a long way to go, but I'll get there. Thanks for the influence !

[@MechaBlazeEagle]

Smooth as silk man! This tune is relaxing without being sleep inducing. Fantastic! God bless & protect ya!

[@rocknrory]

I'm 17, not that age really matters, but this kind of musical is very calming and inspirational. Jazz songs constantly change and evolve into something new, I'd love to be able to play something like this.

[@MrAtlantajazz]

Love your sound man. Who said smooth jazz is dead? As long as we keep making "good smooth" it won't die.

[@TheBrazilianProject]

Hey Matt, Excellent job. I love smooth jazz and you are one of the best creative players I ever heard. Keep it up! Regards, Marcus

[@Lekentable]

This just makes me happy every morning, thanks man and great playing as always.

[@CarlyWaarly]

Been listening to Matt all morning

[@Swiftkillah1300]

I appreciate you uploading this video. This is great

[@david-ky7rt]

You are an AMAZING guitar player Matt, "outstanding"!!!

[@Silverlight121]

This is really great. I know everyone says this but keep playing that guitar man. Wonderful music you're playing.

[@TarariraHero]

@XcortX1 It's basically this progression: Cm7, Am7b5, G#maj7, C#maj7 or G7 or Bbm9/F

[@wilsonjrleon]

[@Ducksr1]

[@mrxram]

this really has some bob james - like sounds and riffs. very phat! cheers

[@rzamby]

Fantastic sound!!

[@DriftLibrary]

@ikidskills Same with me, I'm 23 now but being brought up as a musician from the age of 6 by parents who have quite a musical background themselves, I've grown to adore 'real' music. I definitely prefer to listen to anything brass band or jazz sometimes even funk. But actally being in the gold coast brass band where I live has taught me to appreciate it even more. I love the feeling and how it sets the mood far greater than anything mainstream ever will.

[@JeanBernard0205]

Not necesary 16 notes by bar, great phrasing and feeling is enough!!! amazing!!!

[@musikcampur]

great music. good job.

[@MrTotozzz]

Yeah dude, you're the king of smooth jazz guitar ;)

[@McZebra]

Patient playing. Something I need to master

[@hanzzee]

Hey Matt, super tasteful as always! In fact seeing that you have put out so many lessons on the net, why don;t you make one on being tasteful in ones solos. Stuff about phrasing, timimg, note choices etc. You are definitely the guy to teach about that.

[@ffdp419]

i might be a bit of a metalhead, but i still love the mellowness of smooth jazz :)

[@feilong29]

beautiful playing bro! I was into metal for a long time, but Smooth Jazz is my calling and I'm actually thinking about learning this style and writing some :D

[@SagarVibhute]

very nicely played

[@markatier]

Sweet sound & tune. I also clicked by mistake. But enjoyed it. Love the deep rich tone.

[@Snagz1971]

PM me.

[@Goldfill23]

[@jeppejeppenej]

Hey matt. i was just wondering. From where do you get the inspiration, that you use in your smooth jazz solos? Who is your major influences to this kind of playing?

[@ronniecraft3895]

you are smooth jazz !!!!!

[@59Hellfire]

i wish i could play like that

[@karbugsfan1]

Is the backing track to this available? I would love to be able to solo to this

[@smfaces]

It's so beautiful. QED!!! lol.

[@lasuey]

Dear poster, could a strat possibly achieve this tone? I've been trying to explore this kind of sound on my guitar.

[@jonathanbevan7030]

lasuey simply put mate no 😬

[@bobmcdonald402]

Come up with your own sound .. use your strat with switch to the far left. I've seen it done.

[@seamonster82]

Why are semi hollow guitars better for Jazz than solid bodies?

[@mikesheldon15859]

@ChapterVIII09 i agree. btw im 16

[@ZzikoO]

Do you have tabs for this? Would be very helpful!

[@francispage]

Hi Matt, where can i find backing track for this piece?

[@Elliot_Durden]

Rollin' a join for you sir !

[@TheSilentLightning]

I like this... smoothness. lol There was only one part I didn't like and it was when one note went a little bit too high. But this is great.

[@ThrashMetal]

Hey Matt, where do you get these backing tracks?

[@Paulwilliamsukmusic]

Hello may I share my music with you hope you don't mind me posting Smooth Jazz Guitar by Paul Williams - Colours Of Joy - KZbin Smooth Jazz Guitar by Paul Williams - Colours Of Joy Paul Williams playing Leicester Theatre solo with backing tracks.
